Foreign  Field  Facts 

IN  THE  WORK  OF  THE 

American  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society 

AND  THE 

Woman’s  American  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society 


Missions  Ten  missions  are  now  maintained: 

in  Burma,  Assam,  South  India, 
Bengal-Orissa,  South  China,  East  China,  West 
China,  Japan,  Belgian  Congo  and  the  Philippines. 
In  these  fields  are  127  stations  and  3,456  out 
stations.  Aid  is  also  given  to  the  Baptists  in 
Europe. 

Missionaries  Seven  hundred  and  twenty- 
six  men  and  women  represent 
Northern  Baptists  as  missionaries  in  this  great 
world  service.  These  include  ordained  ministers, 
physicians,  teachers,  industrial  and  agricultural 
experts,  business  managers,  printers  and  several 
builders.  They  are  assisted  by  6,872  native 
workers.  There  are  also  2,507  workers  in 
Europe.  More  than  two  hundred  missionaries 
are  definitely  supported  by  churches  or  indi¬ 
viduals,  who  thereby  consider  them  as  their  own 
foreign  representatives. 

Evangelism  In  1917*  on  all  fields  9,770 
converts  were  baptized.  In 
non-Christian  lands  1S6,388  members  are  en¬ 
rolled  in  1,745  regular  Baptist  churches,  of  which 
1,054  or  60  per  cent.,  are  self-supporting.  You 
can  have  a  large  part  in  these  evangelistic 
achievements  through  the  support  of  a  mission¬ 
ary  or  a  native  preacher. 

Industry  Along  with  the  necessity  of  lead¬ 
ing  the  men  and  women  to  Christ 
exists  the  need  of  providing  means  of  self- 
support.  Several  industrial  schools  teach  brick¬ 
making,  building,  tailoring,  farming,  book¬ 
binding,  carpentering,  iron-work,  engineering 
and  surveying. 


Education  There  are  2,696  schools,  in- 
including  6  colleges,  26  semi¬ 
naries  and  training  schools,  with  a  total  enrol¬ 
ment  of  over  87,000  pupils.  Sunday  schools 
number  2,375,  with  89,661  pupils.  Missionaries 
have  translated  the  Bible  into  over  thirty  dia¬ 
lects  and  languages.  Three  printing  plants 
publish  Bibles,  periodicals  and  other  literature. 

Medicine  Twenty-six  hospitals  and  46  dis¬ 
pensaries  are  maintained  and  are 
in  charge  of  56  medical  missionaries,  assisted  by 
152  American  and  native  nurses.  More  than 
99,000  patients  received  treatment  during  the 
past  year. 

Property  a  work  as  large  and  as  varied  as 
this  needs  considerable  material 
equipment  to  make  it  effective  and  to  guarantee 
permanent  results.  Missionaries  must  have 
homes;  schools  require  buildings,  equipment  and 
libraries;  congregations  need  preaching  halls 
and  chapels;  doctors  require  dispensaries  and 
hospitals.  For  evangelistic  touring  there  must 
be  provided  outfits,  consisting  of  horses,  tents, 
wagons,  motorcycles,  etc.  —  all  needed  for  carry¬ 
ing  the  message  to  the  people  in  cities  and 
villages,  mountains  and  jungles.  More  than 
$5,000,000.00  will  be  needed  within  the  next 
five  years  and  of  this  at  least  $600,000.00  should 
be  provided  this  year. 

Finance  During  the  first  year  of  organized 
missionary  effort  the  total  receipts 
for  foreign  missions  were  $1,059.  For  the  fiscal 
year  ending  March  31,  1919,  the  total  receipts 
amounted  to  $1,252,009.10,  including  receipts  of 
the  Woman’s  Society,  but  not  including  gifts  to 
the  Victory  Campaign. 


Is  this  YOUR  Opportunity?  Upon  whom  rests  the  responsibility  of  maintaining  this 

great  missionary  enterprise?  The  war  has  profoundly 
affected  every  phase  of  missionary  effort,  causing  increased  expenses,  adding  new  difficulties, 
providing  new  and  unexpected  opportunities.  The  great  problems  of  world  reconstruction  are 
now  calling  upon  the  friends  of  missions  for  help  in  their  solution.  A  loyal  and  generous  support  of 
this  enterprise  was  never  more  needed  than  today.

Societies,  at  eight  o’clock  each  morning  with  the  exception

Rev.  Thomas  J.  Villers,  D.D. 
Rev.  Gilbert  N.  Brink,  D.D. 
Rev.  E.  R.  Brown 
Rev.  David  Downie,  D.D. 

Mr.  F.  W.  Ayer 


These  meetings  will  be  held  in  the  First  Baptist  Church 
of  Denver.  They  will  close  promptly  at  8 :50  each  morning. 
All  delegates  and  visitors  are  cordially  invited. 


Opportunities  Abroad 

T-JAVE  you  seen  the  architectural  plans  for  the  expansion 
j  and  further  development  of  some  of  the  large  in¬ 

stitutions  on  the  foreign  field?  It  will  pay  you  to  make  a 
careful  study  of  these  plans  which  are  being  displayed  at 
the  Literature  Exhibit.  They  show  some  of  the  outstand¬ 
ing  needs  and  the  plans  to  meet  those  needs  at  some  of  our 
great  institutions,  such  as  Shanghai  Baptist  College  and 
Theological  Seminary,  Jorhat  Christian  Schools  in  Assam, 
Wayland  Academy  at  Hangchow,  China,  and  the  new 
Judson  College  at  Rangoon,  Burma.  Some  of  the  new 
buildings  are  already  in  process  of  erection.  We  hope  the 
construction  of  others  will  be  made  possible  by  friends  who 
are  interested  in  the  development  of  the  work  in  these 
important  centers. 

Here  are  some  great  opportunities  which  may  come 
only  once  in  a  life  time  to  those  interested  in  the  erection 
of  a  permanent  memorial  on  the  foreign  field.  There  is 
no  more  important  task  before  us  than  the  immediate 
and  complete  Christianization  of  the  Orient.  Any  of  the 
officers  of  the  Society  would  be  pleased  to  assist  you  in 
going  over  the  plans  and  in  explaining  any  details. 

It  has  well  been  suggested  that  any  of  these  needed 
buildings  might  appropriately  be  a  memorial  to  a  friend  or 
relative  or  to  a  son  who  died  in  France. 


Wanted 

A  Hospital  Unit  to  sail  in  September,  1919 

Composed  of  six  women  doctors  and  trained  nurses; 
urgently  needed  to  meet  a  critical  situation  in  our  medical 
work  in  South  India.  One  of  the  six  has  already  volun¬ 
teered.  Where  are  the  five? 


The  Book  of  Remembrance 

The  prayer  life  of  our  women  has  been  deepened  and 
strengthened  during  the  year.  The  Book  of  Remembrance 
which  is  a  helpful  book  on  intercession,  ran  through  its 
third  edition — more  than  8,000  copies  having  been  sold.  As 
a  result,  women  have  worked  harder,  given  more,  and  at¬ 
tempted  larger  things  for  God’s  Kingdom  than  ever  before. 


Special  Notice 

A  LL  missionaries,  officers,  members  of  the  Boards  of 
^  Managers  and  District  Secretaries  of  the  American 
Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society  and  the  Woman’s  Ameri¬ 
can  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society  are  requested  to  sit 
on  the  platform  during  all  foreign  mission  sessions  an¬ 
nounced  in  this  program  except  the  brief  Wednesday 
morning  business  session  and  the  Sunday  evening  session.

Hymn,  “In  the  Cross  of  Christ  I  Glory” 

( The  people  rising ) 

In  the  cross  of  Christ  I  glory 

Tow’ring  o’er  the  wrecks  of  time; 

All  the  light  of  sacred  story 

Gathers  round  its  head  sublime. 


When  the  sun  of  bliss  is  beaming 
Light  and  love  upon  my  way, 

From  the  cross  the  radiance  streaming 
Adds  more  luster  to  the  day. 


When  the  woes  of  life  o'ertake  me, 
Hopes  deceive,  and  fears  annoy; 
Never  shall  the  cross  forsake  me; 
Lo!  it  glows  with  peace  and  joy. 


Bane  and  blessing,  pain  and  pleasure. 
By  the  cross  are  sanctified; 

Peace  is  there  that  knows  no  measure, 
Joys  that  through  all  time  abide.

Call  to  Worship 


( The  people  standing ) 


Leader.  O  come,  let  us  worship  and  bow  down;  let  us  kneel  before  the  Lord  our  Maker. 

Congregation.  Know  ye  that  the  Lord  he  is  God;  it  is  he  that  hath  made  us  and  not  we 
ourselves.  We  are  his  people  and  the  sheep  of  his  pasture. 

L.  Enter  into  his  gates  with  thanksgiving  and  into  his  courts  with  praise.  Be  thankful 
unto  him  and  bless  his  name. 

C.  For  the  Lord  is  good ;  his  mercy  is  everlasting,  and  his  truth  endureth  to  all  generations. 

L.  Make  a  joyful  noise  unto  the  Lord,  all  ye  lands. 

C.  I  will  praise  thee,  O  Lord,  among  the  people,  and  I  will  sing  praises  unto  thee  among 
the  nations. 

L.  Oh  that  men  would  praise  the  Lord  for  his  goodness,  and  for  his  wonderful  works  to  the 
children  of  men. 

C.  I  will  praise  thee,  O  Lord  my  God,  with  all  my  heart,  and  I  will  glorify  thy  name  for 
evermore. 


4.  Prayer.  All  uniting. 

O  God,  who  hast  made  of  one  blood  all  nations  of  men  for  to  dwell  on  the  face  of  the  whole 
earth,  and  didst  send  Thy  blessed  Son  to  preach  peace  to  them  that  are  far  off  and  to  them  that 
are  nigh:  Grant  that  all  men  everywhere  may  seek  after  Thee  and  find  Thee.  Bring  the  nations 
into  Thy  fold,  and  add  the  heathen  to  Thine  inheritance.  Hasten,  we  beseech  Thee,  the  coming 
of  Thy  kingdom  upon  earth,  and  draw  the  whole  world  of  mankind  into  willing  obedience  to  Thy 
blessed  reign.  Overcome  all  the  enemies  of  Christ,  and  bring  low  every  power  that  is  exerted 
against  Him.  Protect  the  messengers  of  the  gospel  amid  all  perils;  guide  them  through  all  per¬ 
plexities;  give  them  wisdom,  strength,  and  courage  to  make  known  by  word  and  life  the  grace  of 
our  Lord  Jesus;  prosper  all  that  they  do,  in  His  blessed  Name,  to  serve  the  bodies  and  the  souls 
of  men;  and  hasten  we  beseech  Thee,  the  promised  day,  when  at  the  Name  of  Jesus  every  knee 
shall  bow,  and  every  tongue  confess  that  He  is  Lord,  to  the  glory  of  God  the  Father.  Amen. 


5.  Israel’s  Marching  Orders  (1040  b.c.) 

{Read  by  missionaries ) 

Sing  unto  the  Lord,  all  the  earth;  show  forth  from  day  to  day  his  salvation.  Declare  his 
glory  among  the  heathen;  his  marvelous  works  among  all  nations.  For  great  is  the  Lord  and 
greatly  to  be  praised;  he  also  is  to  be  feared  above  all  gods.  For  all  the  gods  of  the  people  are 
idols;  but  the  Lord  made  the  heavens.  Glory  and  honor  are  in  his  presence;  strength  and  glad¬ 
ness  are  in  his  place.  Give  unto  the  Lord,  ye  kindreds  of  the  people,  give  unto  the  Lord  glory 
and  strength.  Give  unto  the  Lord  the  glory  due  unto  his  name;  bring  an  offering  and  come 
before  him ;  worship  the  Lord  in  the  beauty  of  holiness.  .  .  .Let  the  heavens  be  glad  and  let  the 
earth  rejoice:  and  let  men  say  among  the  nations,  the  Lord  reigneth.  —  1  Chron.  16:  23-31.

A  Macedonian  Call  from  Kengtung 

A/TORE  than  fifteen  thousand  converts  have  been  bap¬ 
tized  on  the  Kengtung  field  in  Burma  during  the  past 
fourteen  years.  Missionaries  report  that  conditions  are 
about  ready  for  one  of  the  greatest  ingatherings  in  mis¬ 
sionary  history.  Shall  we  plan  adequately  to  meet  it? 
New  missionaries  are  needed,  and  an  expenditure  of 
$25,000.00  for  the  next  five  years  with  which  to  provide 
new  buildings,  train  native  leaders  and  properly  develop 
the  work.  This  field  is  destined  to  experience  one  of  the 
greatest  movements  to  Christianity  in  history.  Missionary 
William  M.  Young  who  has  seen  twenty-five  years  of  ser¬ 
vice  in  Burma  will  speak  of  this  remarkable  opportunity 
at  the  Saturday  morning  session. 


Missionary  Speakers 

X-J OW  long  a  time  has  passed  since  your  church  enjoyed 
the  visit  of  a  missionary?  A  number  of  missionaries 
have  recently  returned  to  America  on  furlough  and  during 
the  year  will  be  available  for  deputation  service  among 
the  churches.  Some  of  them  are  in  attendance  at  the 
Convention  and  pastors  who  desire  to  have  any  of  these 
missionaries  speak  in  their  churches  should  see  them 
personally,  or  preferably  should  make  arrangements  with 
the  District  Secretaries  of  their  respective  districts  as 
early  as  possible. 


New  Life  Currents  in  China 

npHIS  is  the  title  of  the  new  foreign  mission  study  book. 
x  It  will  be  received  with  keen  interest  because  of  the 
world  significance  of  recent  events  in  China.  The  author, 
Mary  Ninde  Gamewell,  is  a  skilled  writer  who  has  had 
years  of  close  acquaintanceship  wTith  the  Chinese  people. 
In  preparation  for  her  work  on  this  book  she  made  an 
extended  tour  of  China  and  hence  she  is  able  to  interpret 
the  latest  movements  in  politics,  in  the  public  health 
campaign,  in  general  and  medical  education,  and  in 
Christian  missions.  She  gives  special  attention  to  the 
development  of  the  Christian  Church  of  China.  This 
book  shows  in  a  striking  way  the  vast  influence  that 
Christianity  is  exerting  for  human  conservation  in  China, 
not  only  in  building  up  a  stronger  race  physically  but  in 
developing  the  intellectual  and  spiritual  resources  of  a 
mighty  people.  While  arranged  for  study  class  use, 
its  clear  and  pleasing  literary  style  and  the  freshness  of 
the  material  make  this  an  excellent  book  for  the  general 
reader.  Sixteen  illustrations  and  map.  Price,  cloth, 
75  cents;  paper,  50  cents;  postpaid.  Leave  orders  at  the 
Literature  Exhibit. 


What  Shall  Be  Done  With  This  Blessing? 

TJOR  fifty  years  missionaries  at  Kaying,  South  China, 
prayed  and  labored  for  adequate  response  to  their 
missionary  efforts.  Their  prayers  have  been  answered.  A 
six  hundred  per  cent,  increase  in  enrolment  of  Chinese  boys 
seeking  a  Christian  education  has  been  reported.  We 
must  either  take  care  of  these  three  hundred  and  fifty  boys 
or,  as  the  missionaries  have  said,  hand  the  blessing  back 
to  the  Lord  with  a  confession  that  we  can  not  use  it. 
Additional  equipment  for  lands  and  buildings  to  meet  this 
unique  situation  and  other  needs  in  South  China  will 
require  $300,000.00. 


New  Sunday  School  Lessons 

A/TAKE  your  plans  now  for  the  foreign  mission  period 
in  Baptist  Sunday  schools  next  winter.  It  begins 
in  January  and  ends  on  Easter  Sunday.  The  subject  of 
study  will  be  “Followers  of  the  Great  Physician”  — 
studies  in  the  work  of  medical  missionaries.  New  lesson 
stories,  new  posters,  new  programs  will  be  furnished  as 
usual  without  charge  to  all  Baptist  Sunday  schools.

( Read  by  congregation ) 

And  Jesus  came  and  spake  unto  them,  saying,  All  power  is  given  unto  me  in  heaven  and  in 
earth.  Go  ye,  therefore,  and  teach  all  nations,  baptizing  them  in  the  name  of  the  Father,  and  of 
the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost:  Teaching  them  to  observe  all  things  whatsoever  I  have  com¬ 
manded  you:  and  lo,  I  am  with  you  always,  even  unto  the  end  of  the  world. — -Matt.  28:  18-20.

10.  Responsive  Reading  ....  Officers  of  the  Societies  and  newly  appointed  missionaries 


Officers.  The  Lord  bless  thee  and  keep  thee.  The  Lord  make  his  face  to  shine  upon  thee 
and  be  gracious  unto  thee.  The  Lord  lift  up  his  countenance  upon  thee  and  give  thee  peace. 

Missionaries.  The  Lord  is  my  light  and  my  salvation,  whom  shall  I  fear?  The  Lord  is  the 
strength  of  my  life,  of  whom  shall  I  be  afraid? 

O.  Let  the  Word  of  Christ  dwell  in  you  richly  in  all  wisdom. 

M.  Thy  Word  is  a  lamp  under  my  feet,  and  a  light  unto  my  path. 

O.  Study  to  show  thyself  approved  unto  God,  a  workman  that  needeth  not  to  be  ashamed, 
rightly  dividing  the  word  of  truth. 

M.  And  let  the  beauty  of  the  Lord  our  God  be  upon  us;  and  establish  thou  the  work  of  our 
hands  upon  us;  yea,  the  work  of  our  hands  establish  thou  it. 

O.  Be  strong  and  of  good  courage;  be  not  afraid,  neither  be  thou  dismayed;  for  the  Lord 
thy  God  is  with  thee  whithersoever  thou  goest. 

M.  Surely  goodness  and  mercy  shall  follow  me  all  the  days  of  my  life,  and  I  will  dwell  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord  for  ever. 

O.  Now  unto  him  that  is  able  to  keep  you  from  falling  and  to  present  you  faultless  before 
the  presence  of  his  glory  with  exceeding  joy;  to  the  only  wise  God  our  Saviour  be  glory  and 
majesty  and  power  both  now  and  ever. 

ALL.  Blessed  be  the  Lord  God,  the  God  of  Israel,  who  only  doeth  wondrous  things.  And 
blessed  be  his  glorious  name  for  ever;  and  let  the  whole  earth  be  filled  with  his  glory.  Amen  and 
Amen. 


11.  Consecration  Prayer  . Rev.  Thomas  J.  Villers,r D.D. 


12.  Hymn,  “The  Son  of  God  Goes  Forth  to  War” 


The  Son  of  God  goes  forth  to  war, 
A  kingly  crown  to  gain; 

His  blood-red  banner  streams  afar; 

Who  follows  in  His  train? 

Who  best  can  drink  his  cup  of  woe, 
And  triumph  over  pain, 

Who  patient  bears  his  cross  below: 
He  follows  in  His  train. 


( The  people  rising ) 

A  noble  band,  the  chosen  few. 

On  whom  the  Spirit  came, 

Twelve  valiant  saints,  their  hope  they  knew 
And  mocked  the  torch  of  flame; 

They  met  the  tyrant’s  brandished  steel. 

The  lion’s  gory  mane, 

They  bowed  their  necks  the  stroke  to  feel: 
Who  follows  in  their  train? 


A  noble  army,  men  and  boys. 

The  matron  and  the  maid, 

Around  the  throne  of  God  rejoice, 

In  robes  of  light  arrayed. 

They  climbed  the  steep  ascent  of  heaven 
Through  peril,  toil,  and  pain: 

O  God,  to  us  may  grace  be  given 
To  follow  in  their  train.

1.  Hymn, ‘‘Hark!  Ten  Thousand” 

( The  people  rising) 


Hark,  ten  thousand  harps  and  voices 
Sound  the  note  of  praise  above; 
Jesus  reigns,  and  heav’n  rejoices, 
Jesus  reigns,  the  God  of  love; 
See,  He  sits  on  yonder  throne, 

Jesus  rules  the  world  alone; 


Jesus,  hail!  whose  glory  brightens. 

All  above,  and  gives  it  worth; 

Lord  of  life,  Thy  smile  enlightens. 

Cheers  and  charms  Thy  saints  on  earth; 
When  we  think  of  love  like  Thine, 

Lord,  we  own  it  love  divine; 

Refrain 


King  of  glory,  reign  forever; 

Thine  an  everlasting  crown; 

Nothing  from  Thy  love  shall  sever 

Those  whom  Thou  hast  made  Thine  own. 
Happy  objects  of  Thy  grace, 

Destined  to  behold  Thy  face.  Refrain 


Hallelujah,  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah,  Amen

(The 

How  firm  a  foundation,  ye  saints  of  the  Lord, 

Is  laid  for  your  faith  in  His  excellent  word! 

What  more  can  He  say  than  to  you  He  hath  said. 

To  you,  who  for  refuge  to  Jesus  have  fled? 

“Fear  not;  I  am  with  thee;  O  be  not  dismayed! 

For  I  am  thy  God,  I  will  still  give  thee  aid; 

I’ll  strengthen  thee,  help  thee,  and  cause  thee  to  stand 
Upheld  by  my  gracious,  omnipotent  hand.

“When  through  the  deep  waters  I  call  thee  to  go 
The  rivers  of  sorrow  shall  not  overflow, 

For  I  will  be  with  thee,  thy  trials  to  bless, 

And  sanctify  to  thee  thy  deepest  distress. 

"The  soul  that  on  Jesus  hath  leaned  for  repose, 

I  will  not,  I  will  not,  desert  to  his  foes; 

That  soul,  though  all  hell  should  endeavor  to  shake, 
I’ll  never,  no,  never,  no,  never  forsake.”

Missionaries  Without  Adequate  Homes 

TYO  you  know  that  Baptist  missionaries  are  today  living 
in  mat  houses,  rude  sheds,  two  room  shanties,  because 
money  has  not  been  available  to  furnish  them  with  real 
homes?  Can  we  expect  efficiency  and  continuous  mis¬ 
sionary  service  under  such  conditions?  Shelter  from  the 
hot  sun,  the  cool  winds  and  the  drenching  rains  is  necessary 
for  health,  service  and  efficiency.  A  dozen  stations  on  our 
mission  fields  urgently  require  missionary  residences, 
costing  from  $2,500.00  up.  Here  is  an  opportunity  to 
erect  a  memorial  to  some  friend  or  to  a  son  who  died  in 
France. 


When  You  Visit  Boston 

A  LL  delegates  and  visitors  at  the  Northern  Baptist  Con- 
vention  who  plan  coming  to  Boston  on  their  summer 
vacations  or  at  any  time  during  the  year,  are  cordially  in¬ 
vited  to  visit  the  Ford  Building.  The  entire  eighth  floor 
is  occupied  by  the  offices  of  the  American  Baptist  Foreign 
Mission  Society.  On  the  seventh  floor  will  be  found  the 
offices  of  the  Woman’s  Society,  the  Board  of  Education, 
the  Massachusetts  Baptist  State  Convention,  the  New 
England  District  Secretary  of  the  Foreign,  Home  and 
Publication  Societies,  and  the  editorial  offices  of  MIS¬ 
SIONS.  Other  Baptist  interests  in  this  building  include 
the  Woman’s  Home  Mission  Society,  the  Watchman- 
Examiner,  and  the  New  England  Baptist  Library.  Visitors 
will  always  receive  a  cordial  welcome. 


Extra  Copies  of  this  Program 

YXlPIES  of  this  foreign  mission  program  would  prove 
to  be  attractive  souvenirs  for  mailing  to  your  friends. 
You  personally  would  doubtless  wish  to  retain  a  fresh  copy 
as  a  reminder  of  your  visit  to  Denver.  For  this  purpose 
copies  have  been  inserted  in  envelopes  with  sufficient 
postage  attached  for  mailing,  and  can  be  secured  at  the 
Literature  Exhibit  at  a  cost  of  five  cents  per  copy. 


A  Candidate  Secretary  Become  a  Missionary 

MIsfs  Helen  K.  Hunt,  Candidate  and  Associate  Secretary 
of  the  Woman’s  Society,  has  met  the  urgent  call  for  re¬ 
cruits,  by  offering  herself  for  foreign  service.  She  sailed 
from  Vancouver  for  Burma  on  February  27th  and  expects 
to  be  identified  with  the  educational  work  for  the  girls  of 
Burma.  The  first  few  months,  after  her  arrival,  will  be 
spent  in  language  study  at  Maymyo.  Miss  Hunt  is  a 
daughter  of  Rev.  Emory  W.  Hunt,  D.  D.,  former  President 
of  the  American  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society  and 
recently  elected  President  of  Bucknell  University. 


Our  Work  in  the  Orient] 

JN  its  1919  edition  this  remarkable  publication  makes  a 
v_  brave  showing  in  its  dainty  white  cover  with  red,  white 
and  blue  trimmings.  Since  reading  it,  one  of  our  officers 
has  renamed  it  “The  Book  of  Miracles”,  for  through  all  its 
pages  God’s  regenerating  power  and  influence  are  apparent. 
Four  new  maps  make  their  appearance  in  this  book,  and 
thirty-five  illustrations.  There  are  extracts  from  letters 
and  reports  to  be  read  and  enjoyed,  summaries  to  be 
pondered  over,  statistics  to  be  clothed  and  made  to  live  in 
the  thought  of  the  reader,  important  facts  to  be  digested, 
book  lists  for  follow-up  work  —  in  short  everything  for  the 
busy  and  the  leisurely  Baptist  woman  who  wants  to  know 
what  she  is  and  ought  to  be  doing. 

t  It  is  an  indispensable  book  for  the  coming  year.  Secure 
a  copy  or  give  your  order  before  you  leave  Denver. 


A  Crusade  of  Compassion  for  the  Healing 
of  the  Nations 

'J'HIS  is  the  new  text-book  for  1919-20  — published 
by  the  Central  Committee.  It  is  a  most  timely  topic. 
The  hearts  of  women  have  been  stirred  by  the  cruel  suffer¬ 
ing  of  war,  and  their  emotions  have  found  expression  in 
most  efficient  Red  Cross  work  and  in  the  support  of 
Medical  Units  in  France  and  Serbia. 

The  appeal  of  this  book  is  wider  and  greater,  since  it 
brings  to  our  attention  an  almost  wholly  neglected  class 
of  women  and  children,  who  have  never  known  medical 
aid  of  any  kind.  As  Red  Cross  women  demobilize,  will 
they  not  remobilize  into  groups  for  the  study  of  conditions 
and  the  effort  to  meet  them?  Even  to  read  this  book,  while 
women  work,  will  give  a  new  impulse,  while  every  woman’s 
society  will  find  it  a  valuable  book  for  study. 


Mook  —  True  Tales  of  a  Chinese  Boy  and 
His  Friends 

'THIS  is  a  wonderful  new  book  for  Juniors  with  54 
A  telling  pictures.  Every  boy  and  every  girl  will  find  joy 
as  well  as  profit  in  this  book.  Oh,  for  a  vision  to  see  what 
such  a  book  would  do  for  the  children  of  our  churches. 
Our  boys  and  girls  have  caught  the  new  and  broader 
sympathy  and  the  heroic  spirit  of  war.  Shall  we  not 
apply  it  to  the  great  task  of  world  reconstruction  which 
they  must  undertake.  The  greatest  force  for  missions  is 
not  the  Layman’s  Movement  or  the  Inter-Church  Drive. 
It  is  the  training  of  the  child.  Do  not  fail  to  get  this  book! 


The  Rainbow  Posters 

J-JAVE  you  seen  the  set  of  Rainbow  Posters  and  the  at¬ 
tractive  envelope  of  leaflets  which  are  being  used  in  the 
recruiting  campaign,  which  is  being  carried  on  by  the 
Woman’s  American  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society  and 
other  Women’s  Foreign  Boards?  Most  remarkable  meet¬ 
ings  have  been  held  and  many  young  women  have  been 
led  to  think  seriously  of  enlisting  more  definitely  in 
Christian  service.  The  posters  and  leaflets  may  be 
obtained  at  the  Literature  Exhibit  and  can  be  used  effec¬ 
tively  in  churches  and  all  gatherings  for  women  and  girls.

The  Sunday  Evening  Session 

May  25  at  8  o’clock 

Program  in  charge  of  Northern  Baptist  Convention 

At  the  Sunday  evening  session  one  of  the  addresses  will  be  delivered  by  Foreign  Secretary  Joseph 
C.  Robbins.  After  nearly  seven  years  of  service  as  a  missionary  in  the  Philippine  Islands,  Mr.  Robbins 
was  appointed  Joint  District  Secretary  in  New  England.  For  two  years  he  served  as  Candidate  Sec¬ 
retary  of  the  Student  Volunteer  Movement  and  since  1915  has  been  Foreign  Secretary  of  the  American 
Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society  with  responsibility  for  the  administration  of  our  work  in  British 
India.  During  the  year  1917-1918  he  visited  Burma,  Assam,  South  India  and  Bengal-Orissa  and  in 
his  address  he  will  mention  his  observations  regarding  our  work  in  those  fields,  the  needs  and  oppor¬ 
tunities  as  well  as  the  larger  reconstruction  problems.  Complimentary  copies  of  Mr.  Robbins’  new 
book  “The  Appeal  of  India”  may  be  secured  at  the  Literature  Exhibit.

Hymn,  “0  Highly  Favored  People” 


O  highly  favored  people 

On  whom  God  sets  His  seal, 
O  chosen  generation, 

Hear  thou  the  loud  appeal! 
America  —  thy  mission 

Is  sacred,  high,  sublime; 
God  gives  thee  an  evangel 
For  men  of  every  clime. 


Thou  almoner  of  nations, 

All  come  to  thee  for  bread. 
And  to  thy  gates  they  turn  them 
When  they  are  sore  bestead. 
But,  oh,  for  needs  eternal 
There  comes  a  deeper  cry; 
Wilt  thou  to  souls  that  perish 
The  bread  of  life  deny? 


Here  in  this  land,  O  Saviour, 

Thy  soul’s  sore  travail  see; 

Here  may  Thy  cross  uplifted 
Draw  all  men  unto  Thee. 

May  o’er  the  world,  Lord  Jesus, 
Thy  name  great  glory  gain; 
Haste  on  Thy  day  of  Glory, 

Take  thou  Thy  right  and  reign.

4.  Hymn,  “Jesus  Shall  Reign” 

Jesus  shall  reign  where’er  the  sun 
Does  his  successive  journeys  run; 

His  kingdom  spread  from  shore  to  shore, 
Till  moons  shall  wax  and  wane  no  more. 


( The  people  rising ) 

From  north  to  south  the  princes  meet, 
To  pay  their  homage  at  His  feet; 
While  western  empires  own  their  Lord, 
And  savage  tribes  attend  His  word. 


People  and  realms  of  every  tongue 
Dwell  on  His  love  with  sweetest  song. 
And  infant  voices  shall  proclaim 
Their  early  blessings  on  His  name. 


5.  Address,  “Our  Responsibility  in  the  Reconstruction  of  France  and  Belgium” .

6.  Hymn,  “Jesus  Calls  Us” 


Jesus  calls  us:  o’er  the  tumult 
Of  our  life’s  wild,  restless  sea, 

Day  by  day  His  sweet  voice  soundeth, 
Saying,  “Christian,  follow  Me.” 


( The  people  rising) 

In  our  joys  and  in  our  sorrows, 

Days  of  toil  and  hours  of  ease; 

Still  He  calls,  in  cares  and  pleasures. 
That  we  love  Him  more  than  these. 


Jesus  calls  us:  by  Thy  mercies. 

Saviour,  make  us  hear  Thy  call, 
Give  our  hearts  to  Thine  obedience, 
Serve  and  love  Thee  best  of  all.

Walking  Two  Hundred  Miles  to  School 

13  O Y S  in  Assam  have  walked  two  hundred  miles  to  attend 
the  Jorhat  Christian  Schools.  Mud  huts,  without  fur¬ 
niture  and  adequate  equipment,  have  housed  these  schools 
for  many  years.  Teachers  have  been  poorly  prepared  and 
are  under  paid.  Notwithstanding  these  handicaps,  there 
are  now  more  than  two  hundred  and  fifty  students  en¬ 
rolled.  Plans  for  the  development  of  this  institution  in¬ 
volve  the  designation  of  five  missionary  families  and  an 
expenditure  of  $150,000.00.  Here  is  a  unique  opportunity 
to  rebuild  the  manhood  of  a  province,  and  to  transform 
fifteen  races  of  poverty-stricken  people  into  self-supporting, 
educated  Christian  men  and  women.

Ministers  of  Mercy 

rpHlS  new  book  by  Foreign  Secretary  James  H.  Franklin 
portrays  with  great  charm  and  force  the  careers  of 
ten  outstanding  medical  missionaries.  These  are  more 
than  biographical  sketches;  they  are  interpretations  of 
the  life  and  problems  of  the  principal  mission  fields, 
showing  in  vivid  colors  and  concrete  form  how  Christianity 
is  accomplishing  its  great  work  of  human  conservation. 
The  subjects  of  the  sketches  are  the  Neves  of  Kashmir, 
Frederick  D.  Shepard  of  Turkey,  Christine  I.  Bennett  of 
Arabia,  James  Curtis  Hepburn  of  Japan,  Catharine  L. 
Mabie  of  Africa,  Joseph  P.  Cochran  of  Persia,  Peter 
Parker  of  China,  John  Mackenzie  of  China,  Theodore 
Pennell  of  the  Afghan  Frontier,  and  John  Scudder  of  India. 

Young  people  are  deeply  impressed  by  the  lives  of  men 
and  women  who  have  rendered  distinguished  service  to 
humanity.  This  book  they  will  enjoy  reading.  It  is  well 
bound,  and  fully  illustrated.  '  Price,  cloth,  75  cents;  paper, 
50  cents;  postpaid.  Leave  orders  at  the  Literature  Exhibit. 


The  Bulletin  No.  17 
Your  Will 

The  Missionary’s  Furlough 
The  Jorhat  Christian  Schools 
Our  Task  Abroad 

Others,  including  the  1919  annual  Guide  Book  and  the 
complete  edition  of  the  Annual  Report,  will  appear  later. 

The  best  way  to  secure  this  new  literature  is  to  send 
thirty-five  cents  to  the  Literature  Department  as  a  New 
Literature  subscription.  You  will  receive  regularly  for 
|  one  year  sample  copies  of  all  such  attractive  literature 
issued  by  the  Society.  A  similar  arrangement  can  be  made 
with  the  Literature  Department  of  the  Woman’s  Society 
for  new  literature  published  by  that  Society. 


A  Christian  Monopoly  in  Yokohama 

rPHE  Japanese  government  has  sold  to  Baptists  a  large 
piece  of  land  overlooking  the  city  of  Yokohama  and 
its  harbor,  on  condition  that  we  erect  a  school  which  will 
provide  a  Christian  education  for  Japanese  boys.  In  the 
J  entire  Yokohoma  Province  with  its  great  city  and  its 
population  of  more  than  half  a  million,  there  is  no  Christian 
school  for  boys.  In  the  Victory  Campaign  $75,000  was 
|  asked  in  order  to  secure  the  land  and  begin  construction. 
A  good  beginning  has  been  made  toward  the  establishment 
of  this  stately  memorial  to  the  late  Henry  C.  Mabie. 
Within  the  next  two  years  at  least  $125,000.00  additional 
j  will  be  required.  A  special  illustrated  pamphlet  has  been 
j  issued.  Secure  copies  at  the  Literature  Exhibit. 


Sunday  School  Posters 

A  NUMBER  of  those  large,  beautifully  colored  posters 
prepared  for  the  missionary  campaign  “The  Gospel 
j  of  Work  Around  the  World”,  are  available  for  general 
j  distribution.  In  order  to  dispose  of  the  remaining  supply 
|  quickly  the  price  has  been  reduced  to  ten  cents  per  set 
of  eight  posters.  They  would  prove  admirable  for  decora- 
'  tion  on  the  walls  of  your  Sunday  school  room.  A  set  will 
be  sent  to  any  address  upon  receipt  of  price.  Leave  orders 
I  at  the  Literature  Exhibit.

(The  people  rising ) 


All  hail  the  power  of  Jesus’  name, 
Let  angels  prostrate  fall; 

Bring  forth  the  royal  diadem, 

And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all. 


Let  every  kindred,  every  tribe, 
On  this  terrestrial  ball, 

To  Him  all  majesty  ascribe, 
And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all. 


O  that  with  yonder  sacred  throng 
We  at  His  feet  may  fall, 

We’ll  join  the  everlasting  song, 
And  crown  Him  Lord  of  all. 


5.  Benediction 


Rev.  D.  C.  Graham 


“If  God  ever  called  a  church  to  fulfill  national  aspira¬ 
tions  by  carrying  on  a  work  which  a  nation  has  so  well 
begun,  God  is  now  calling  upon  the  Church  of  Christ 
to  do  that  thing  for  which  the  past  centuries  of  achieve¬ 
ment  have  been  but  a  day  of  preparation.”
